Turkey Tater Tot Casserole

In honor of Thansgiving, my newest take on tatertot casserole:

You will need:
1lb ground turkey breast
a bag of tots
1 can of cream of celery soup
2 minced cloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bag of pre shredded "pepper cheese" (it is sold at Fred Meyer, and I have no idea what makes it different from pepperjack cheese, but it is delicious and not the same)

Preheat your oven to 350
While you are waiting for that little guy to heat up, turn on your overhead fan and then heat up your olive oil in a frying pan.  When it is all nice and warm, cook up your garlic.  Once it is about to burn, remember that you are trying to do something "domestic" and add in the ground turkey.  Cook over med-hi until browned all the way through. 
Now, you get to make your layered tot casserole.  Pick from one of your many pyrex casserole dishes.  Place a layer of tots, then a layer of cheese.  Now put in all that delicious turkey, smother it in the cream of celery soup. Take a spoon and smear it around real good!  More cheese! More tots! More cheese!
Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.  For the last two minutes, witch the over over to broil and get the top of the casserole nice and crsipy.
If you're from the midwest, crack a cheap beer and get out the ketchup, it's time to eat!
